A couple of years ago, Chinese media covered a feature story about William Lindesay, a Briton, who has never failed to pick up garbage littered on the Great Wall for 13 years. For Chinese, littering in scenic spots is quite common, which is a shame to us. In your opinion, what kinds of measures could be taken in order to prevent people from littering in places of interest? Write an essay of about 400 words. You should supply an appropriate title for your essay.

Measures to Curb Tourists Who Litter On the week-long national holidays in various scenic spots across China, tickets sales are busy; security guards are preoccupied. Above all, sanitation workers are hectic. Wherever Chinese tourists go, they leave a long trail of garbage behind. That is why the feature story of William Lindesay, a Briton who devoted himself to picking up trash on the Great Wall for 13 years, has paled us by comparison. In my opinion, preventative and penalty measures could be taken to train civic-minded tourists. In the first place, preventative measures could be initiated by governments or administrative authorities in the scenic spots. Stationing garbage bins every few miles and putting up signs to warn against littering are helpful in this regard. Usually, tourists want to keep the environment intact, but they just could not locate a near-by trash bin, so they have to throw away the redundant plastic bags in their hands. Besides, education campaign could be launched to remind people of the harms brought by littering. The beauty of the scenery might be spoiled by the thrown-away bottles. The unattended garbage might attract bugs or flies, which pose a threat to our health. In other words, we should send the message to people that keeping the scenery clean and tidy is the best way to honor the natural or historical scenes, with the help of the trash bins scattering across the scenic spot. In the second place, fines could be imposed upon those who litter. For example, in Hong Kong, those who litter on the street are fined up to HK$ 1,500. Similar penalty is also enforced in Singapore, where 2nd time offenders are required of court attendance and judges may order "Corrective Work Order" (CWO). In Chinese mainland, we have litter penalty, but the fine is sometimes too insignificant to be taken seriously. Local governments can drastically increase the fine and impose CWO to require offenders to clean up dirty streets or beaches, wearing luminous jackets. This "public humiliation" will evoke the sense of shame in the offenders and prevent them from repeated offence. Aggressive as these measures may seem, they are immediately effective to rectify the inherent wrong-doings. In short, we can resort to both chronic and acute remedies to cure the age-old problem of throwing away garbage at will. The civility of the tourists can be nurtured with the help of sufficient facilities and enforcement of severe penalty.
